As they got lower, though, familiar shapes started to appear. "There's Vaynspool,"
Saben said, pointing towards a circle of grayish brown amongst fields of green. "
It's so close to the ocean!" Talia shouted. There was a long patch of green
between Vaynspool and the blue-gray expanse of water to the south. "Yes,"
Saben said. "You didn't realize?" "I've never been allowed to go to the ocean,"
she admitted. "My uncle is deathly afraid of water. Something about an event in
his childhood.

The bride still drowned. She detoured to the concealed wheel valve, and
switched the water off. Splash diminished into trickles, and then to peaceful
silence. Susan walked through it toward the shining rectangle of the dining room
doors, where Con stood waiting. Alone. She hesitated out in the dark, but she
would not be afraid. To be truly afraid of Con would be the final denial of all that
had once existed between them. She stepped into the room. “My lord? You
needed something?

She had giggled as she sneaked out into the chilly night to dance under the rain,
and when the rain stopped she had gone deep into the forest to play hide and
seek and listen to ghost stories. She had won many gifts off the others for her
ability to tell the best tale. And that night, she had told them her best story yet, it
was about the unfortunate bride who died on her wedding night. When she had
returned from the forest, the whole caravan site was ablaze. She swears that she
caught a ...

Olivia brought out the catalogue showing The Water Dragon, the boat that would
carry them down the Yangtze. It was a gleaming white cruiseliner, but smaller
than an ocean vessel would be. It was ninety metres long and took one hundred
and seventy passengers. 'That sounds just right,' somebody observed. 'Big
enough to be comfortable, small enough to be friendly.' 'Yes, it's going to be nice,'
Olivia agreed. She showed the catalogue to Lang. 'What do you think?' 'I think the

She gazed deeply into George's frightened eyes. The waves crashed against the
house's stilts, crippling it in almost slow motion. It bent beneath its own weight
toward the water rushing in below. The storm kicked up a swirl of debris and
brought all kinds of things slamming against the outer walls of the house. Soon,
the entire thing crumbled and fell to pieces as the water rose to take it. George
and his new bride, though, had already stepped through. They were off to the
other side ...

They meet the seven-headed dragon at a bridge and while his brothers are
asleep the hero conquers him (wrestling). He brings the dragon's horse back, it
shines like the stars, and the stars shine again in the sky. The same happens with
the nine- headed dragon and the moon. The third time fighting the twelve-
headed dragon, it is a draw. Finally both become wheels, then flames and both
ask a raven to decide the struggle in their favour, by pouring water on the flame
that represents ...

When it had been gushing water she hadn't looked at it clearly. Now, however,
she did. The dragon's huge phallus spewed over the captive bride, some liquid
filling her screaming mouth, more pouring off her outstretched, piteous hands.
After a horrified moment, she turned away. "Yes. Yes, of course." She still heard
the music of the water, but now the image made it foul. He was right. The garden
was the healing heart of Crag Wyvern, but by creating the dragon's bride fountain
, the ...

In the faint light of early morning, the young Emperor of the Land of Ten
Thousand Willows glanced beyond the stern of The Water Dragon. In the
distance he glimpsed the white sails of the ships which had pursued them since
leaving the London docks. His was only one ship, swift as a dragonfly across the
surface of a lily pond, while those of the enemy numbered a handful and thus
were unable to maneuver as quickly. Surely his junk would outrun the others;
surely Huang Di, the ...
